whale-watching season

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️

 

Whale breaches still waters

spraying mist into the twilight. 

 

Oil seeps through grill’s crevices 

onto bright glowing briquettes, as 

 

Beef sizzles to unfolding drama, 

surrounded by awe and wonder;

 

Hooked by the vast expanse 

of the outback and the sea.

        This one for me was ingenious. My mind reaching out for connections sees each line connected to protection and man's exploitation. Whether whale, oil, meat, wood, pollution, fish and the land itself. You have managed to take one concept and string all the otherwise unrelated lines together. Very well done or I'm just off after a ghost.

          It really isn’t easy to bring such diverse elements togetherness and I feel that this was passable work. It was quite a relief to be modestly well received in other sites 🙏🏻🕊️

            The creativity of a work often is hard to see by the creator themself and may go overlooked by a crowd used to the common world.
